Posting as a studio
How a studio publishes a Gallery post — adding photos, optionally tagging team members and clients, and where gallery posts appear.
A studio account posts one kind of thing: a Gallery post. There's no portfolio-versus-lifestyle split the way practitioner accounts have — everything a studio posts goes into its gallery and the shared Studios feed. A gallery post can be a finished piece, a group shot, your space, or an event at the shop.
Studio posts go live as soon as you post them.
Step by step
- 1
Open the posting form
Go to your studio profile and open the Gallery tab. Tap Add Post.
- 2
Add your photos
Pick up to six photos. The first one is the cover.
- 3
Tag team and clients (optional)
Search for the team members (any practitioner discipline) and the clients who appear in the post. This step is optional — you can post a gallery shot with no tags at all. Anyone you tag gets a card on their Collabs page, where they choose whether to appear on the post.
- 4
Add a description
Write a short caption or description for the post.
- 5
Post
Submit. Your gallery post appears in the feeds straight away.
What to post
Your gallery is how clients get a feel for your shop before they ever walk in. Good things to post:
- Your studio space and atmosphere
- Team photos and artist spotlights
- Convention appearances and events
- Behind-the-scenes moments
- Finished work from the shop
Keep it about the studio and real body art — the same content guidelines that apply to everyone apply here too.
One gallery, one feed
Everything a studio posts lives in the studio's Gallery and the cross-discipline Studios feed. There's no separate Lifestyle feed for studios and no per-discipline work feed — a studio is a business account, so its posts aren't filtered and ranked the way an individual practitioner's portfolio is. For how the feeds are laid out, see feed categories explained.
Tagging team members and clients
The tagging step is how you credit the people in a post. Team members can be any practitioner discipline; clients are collector accounts. Tagging is a request, not an automatic credit — the tagged person decides on their Collabs page whether to appear. If a tagged person accepts and also chooses to repost, the post appears on their own profile (in their Lifestyle/Gallery space) as a vouch — it is not copied into the main discipline feeds. Your studio's original post stays the single entry that shows up in the feeds; the repost is just a credit on their profile. The full mechanics, including reposting, are in tagging and reposting.
Your posts go live immediately
Gallery posts publish the moment you post them. There's no background review — that quiet review step is only for collectors posting work done on them. Your gallery posts can still be reported once live if they break the content guidelines, the same as anyone's.
Frequently asked questions
- Do studio posts get reviewed before they appear?
No. Gallery posts publish immediately. The background review applies only to collector posts. Studio posts can still be reported once live, like anyone's.
- Can a studio post a Lifestyle post like practitioners do?
No. Studios have a single gallery — there's no separate Lifestyle feed for studio accounts. Behind-the-scenes shots just go in the gallery alongside everything else.
- Do I have to tag anyone?
No. The tagging step is optional — you can post a gallery shot with no team members or clients tagged.
